A tribute blog to my beloved Aqa Moula (TUS). A humble offering of a 'guldasta' of my 50 articles, which I intend to offer as Hadiyah in Shukr. Also some fond memories associated with my life over 50 eventful years.

MOULANA SAATH SAATH

Memories with my Moula over 50 glorious years. The smiling young one between bewe Moulas has witnessed the glorious and eventful 50 years. At the Shabab outing managed to evoke smile on Moula's radiant face, with a silly Chinese skit. At the Star Sporting Club outing got a walk the talk opportunity. Treasured memories.

The Tribe of Ar - Rass who disobeyed and were destroyed.

During the month of Shere Ramazan, mumineen in greater number and in good
measure performs the tilawat-e- Quran-e Karim, on the irshada't of our ruhani
bawa -shafiq (TUS) as Quran -e- Hakeem is 'afzlo kulle shayin dun-Allah'.

Each ayat, nay
each word of Quran encompasses a wealth of knowledge and meaning, to use a
metaphor, each drop contains an ocean.

I came across a very interesting
historical aspect behind the ayat 38 of the sura-Al-Furqan, which I would
like to share with readers.

'and the tribe of A'ad and Thamood and the
inhabitants of Ar-Rass and the generations between them, we did give examples
and everyone(of them) we did destroy with utter extermination' 25:
38.

Here is the history of the inhabitants of Ar-Rass.

Rass was the name
of the stream in the locality of Azerbaijan on whose bank lay twelve
townships whose inhabitants were known as the people of Rass.

The name of
these townships were :
1.ABAN 2.AAZAR 3.DEE 4.BAHMAN 5.ISFANDAR 6.FARWADIN 7.URDI BAHISHT

8.KHUZDAD 9.MARDAD 10.TEER 11.MEHR AND 12.SHAHYOOR.

In
ISFANDAR which enjoyed a central position a pine tree was planted by Yaftah
bin Nuh, and it was called the king tree.From the seeds of this tree, one
tree each was planted in other towns.Every month these people gathered
together in one town and worshiped the tree.

Once in a year on the day of
Nauroze (new year) they gathered in ISFANDAR and worshipped the principal
tree, and offered sacrifices. In order to stop them from worshiping this
tree, Allah sent a prophet from the line of Yahyd (Javoha) bin Yaqoob who
tried to prevent them from this heretic worship, but they did not listen to
him, rejected him and revolted against him and decided to kill him.

So they
dug a well in the stream and throwing him in it, closed its mouth with stone,
as a result
of which, he died in extreme agony.

As a consequence to this
tyranny, divine retribution took turn and such a severe hot wind blew over
them ,that they were all burnt, and sulfuric lava erupted out from the
underground with which even their bones were melted and all the towns were
overturned.

THIS THEN IS THE STORY OF AR-RASS TRIBE WHO DISOBEYED THE PROPHET
OF
ALLAH.

About Me

Being born a Saggitarius,I try to live by the dictates of my stars - that is to say, I like to clown around, avoid morons, look forward to meet interesting and charming persons. Social work is a passion and takes precedence over every thing,it gives me a 'high'without getting into trouble with the long arm of the law. In the words of K.Geetha Menon
I was born in a crack in the concrete,
Sun and rain alternated,
I became a botanist's dream.
Yet the guilllotine is awaited by me,
For the palce of my birth, was not the coveted pot !!!
